Becca Vaill (the former Becca Bruce) enters her fourth season as the Head Field Hockey Coach for Wellesley College. During her first three years, Vaill has led the Blue to a remarkable 44-17 overall record, an Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Vaill’s 2006 squad had one of the most successful seasons in the 25-year history of the Wellesley field hockey program. The Blue snagged their sixth Seven Sisters title in seven years, clinched the NEWMAC regular season title, and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Championship. In only the third NCAA appearance in the program’s history, Wellesley scored a decisive victory in its first round game before falling in the Round of 16.

A 2002 graduate of Colby College, Vaill brings exceptional experience and success to Wellesley as a collegiate field hockey and lacrosse student-athlete. She was a four-year starter and captain in field hockey with several academic and conference accolades, including NFHCA First Team Regional All-American and NESCAC All-Conference.
